About

Karin Gutenbrunner Byom

Karin Gutenbrunner Byom

I am a psychosocial counsellor and coach, and I work with people across the world, online, in English, German and Norwegian. A qualified life and social counsellor from Austria, self-employed since 2019.

I grew up on an organic pioneer farm in Upper Austria, shaped by responsibility, community and the courage to take your own path. Later I worked in project and change management, before turning fully to counselling.

I know life abroad from my own experience. And I know the kind of upheaval that sets everything in motion. A serious illness deepened my work. It showed me what people need to find their way, step by step, back into their own strength.

I work in a way that is direct and warm, clear in substance and human in tone. My focus is on the person in front of me, not on a method. I draw on sound, well-grounded methods, but I always adapt the work to the individual. No diagnosis, no treatment. Sorting things out, building strength, moving on.

How I work

  • I start from your strengths, not from a deficit.
  • I name what I see, calmly and clearly.
  • I work with well-grounded methods, always adapted to you.
  • I stay honest, even when agreeing would be easier.
